About Notion Thief

Notion Thief, Creature — human rogue, designed by Clint Cearley first released in May, 2020 in the set Dragon's Maze and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Casual. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 1.54.

A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's card advantage and card draw engines would benefit from including Notion Thief, particularly in control or tempo decks that aim to outvalue their opponents. While Notion Thief can be a powerful tool in certain matchups, it may not always be the most efficient option due to its high mana cost and vulnerability to removal. Other cards like Narset, Parter of Veils or Teferi, Time Raveler may offer similar effects with additional utility, making them potentially better choices in certain situations. Ultimately, the decision to include Notion Thief in a deck should depend on the specific meta and strategy of the deck in question.

Rules

03/16/18

If an opponent is instructed to draw a card then discard a card, and Notion Thief causes you to draw a card instead, that opponent still discards a card. The same is true of any other actions that opponent is instructed to do.

03/16/18

The above procedure means that if each player in a two-player game controls a Notion Thief and one would draw a card, it really will be that player who draws a card.
